Carbs/Fats/Proteins

If you customize your plan what percentage do you assign for each?

ie. 40/30/30 - is 40% your carbs or your proteins?

I do 50% carbs, 25% fats and proteins. Some days I do 30% fat and 20% protein. I work out a lot, and I do a lot of high intensity work, so I need the carbohydrates. The higher fats spare the protein for muscle repair. You don't need a ton of protein, you just need enough of everything else so the protein is used for protein synthesis and not energy.

*Edited that to say 20% protein the second time.
